DRINKING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC: ARE SCOTTISH STUDENTS SIMILAR TO AMERICAN ?
Engs, Ruth C.
This study surveyed both American and Scottish post secondary students during 1994 to determine possible differences in drinking and smoking patterns.Scottish students
consumed more alcohol and tobacco compared to Americans. However, in terms of consequences resulting from drinking there were mixed results within various demographic
categories.
This is one of several reports of Scottish student drinking patterns.; Other research papers on university students can be found at: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/handle/2022/17130/browse?type=title; https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/handle/2022/17127/browse?type=title and https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/handle/2022/17124/browse?type=title.

Engs, Ruth C.
A study of helping professional students in Queensland Australia that seminary, police students, first year, and students who regarded religion as important had significantly more moralistic and negative attitudes towards alcoholics. Conversely, social work/ psychology, Roman Catholics, individuals who did not consider religion to be important and those in their last year of study had more positive and humanitarian attitudes towards alcoholics.

PURPOSE: Limited information about recreational drug use over the post-secondary experience, particularly in Scotland are found. Thus the purpose of this study was to investigate selected socio-demographics of alcohol, tobacco and marijuana use in post-secondary helping profession students in Scotland. METHODS: The Queensland Alcohol and Drug Study Questionnaire modified for the UK was completed by helping profession students from 22 departments at universities and colleges in five Scottish cities. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 949 males and 3117 female post-secondary students. As found in other studies, a significantly (p < .001) higher percent of males consumed alcohol. Males were more likely to smoke and use marijuana, however, there was no difference in the quantity of tobacco consumed. For both males and females, the prevalence of alcohol and marijuana was highest two or three years before the maximum use of tobacco (students over 24 years of age). Students under 24 years of age were more likely to consume alcohol and marijuana. Older students and those from the Midlands were more likely to consume tobacco. There was no difference between the regions in Scotland concerning alcohol or marijuana use. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that the results of this study supports other investigations in the UK conducted among young adults.

The PURPOSE of this study was to determine if religious preference and importance of religion had an effect on recreational drug use. METHODS: The Queensland Alcohol and Drug Questionnaire was used to assess alcohol tobacco an marijuana use of helping profession students in Scotland. RESULTS: Roman Catholic's and those with no religious preferences consumed significantly higher mean units of alcoholic beverages compared to the other groups. In addition a higher percent of Roman Catholics consumed over 28 drinks per week. Students to whom religion was not important consumed significantly more units compared to those to whom religion was important. In regards to smoking, a significantly higher proportion of student who identified their religious preference as the Church of Scotland were non-smokers compared to the other groups. Those to whom religion was important consumed almost half the number of cigarettes per week compare to those to whom religion was not important. Those students who gave their religious preference as Church of Scotland were significantly less likely to smoke marijuana compared to other groups. Students who considered religion important were significantly less likely to smoke marijuana. it was CONCLUDED that religious adherence prevents at risk drInking, smoking and marihuana use among this sample of students.
